Pretty much about the same level of thought has been put into it. Most of the time I think they are just trying to get people that oppose their view to say something so they can try and dog pile them. Actual validity or facts behind either position are irrelevant - they just want to argue and/or validate their groups opinions.

Hence the use of attempting to force the point through memes, as well.

On the upside, if people hear it repeated often enough, they might internalize that it does not in fact end with "...one nation, under my concept of God, indivisible unless the president tries to take away our slaves or our right to not buy health insurance, with liberty for those whose opinions don't offend the sensibilities of over-sheltering parents, and justice for those who can afford good lawyers."

It's like conservative "comedians": they're fucking terrible at it, but it won't stop them from trying.

Are you referring to comedians who are politically conservative, or who actually try to make their comedy meld with conservative viewpoints? A good comedian knows they have to remove themselves from their particular zone of comfort, and then move their audience out of their zones of comfort in an enjoyable way. Currently, mainstream conservatism is very dubious of looking outside of their comfort zone. I can see a lot of comedians not being considered liberal by other conservatives simply by what they talk about, though the comedian still might be somewhat conservative.

If I remember correctly, his sin was that he went against God's will and his sin was actually "coitus interruptus" not masturbation.

Dennis Miller was hilarious as a liberal comedian, as a conservative comedian he is just sad. It is the mind set which leads to not being funny.It is also hard to get an audience to think you are funny, poking fun at 99.9% of the population.

Who are the funny conservative comedians?

I actually don't know any to tell you the truth. I guess I should do a little searching to find out. I was arguing in a sense for the sake of arguing, and trying to put forth a reason why comedy might be so liberal and why there might not be many "conservative" comedians. I don't think comedians necessarily have to be politically liberal, but as I said their usually needs to be an amount of open-mindedness for comedy to work. And for this reason maybe that is why the chips fall where they do. I think it is hard to really say whether a comedian's jokes are slanted liberal or slanted conservative because you have to start digging into ideology which can probably give you mixed results.

I would assume the "redneck" comedians are conservative. The "here's your sign" guy can be funny, so can Foxworthy.

Larry The Cable guy is the antithesis of everything humor is and should be.

Jeff Foxworthy. He rooted for Romney. Said it was his first time in his life he got political because it was important. Now the obvious joke: "if you're so worried a black man might win the election again that for the first time you vocalize how important it is for the white man to win, you might just be a red neck." I dont think that's why Foxworthy thought the 2012 election was so important, nor can I make an educated guess. All I know is he popularized the, you might just be a red neck jokes, and he was the host for, are you smarter then a fifth grader. Which I now find ironic if he's an SRB type. "If all the education you need is upto the fifth grade level because after that 'higher' education will make you a liberal, then you might just be a red neck."

Edit: I was typing this on my iPad. Takes forever to type. So I'd didn't see the other post mentioning Jeff Foxworthy. Doh!

A student at George Washington High School asked for an injunction in Kanawha Circuit Court against the school's principal Monday, after she alleges he threatened to call the college where she's been accepted and tell them she has "bad character" for speaking up against an abstinence-only assembly held at the school last week.

Katelyn Campbell, the school's student body vice president, refused to attend an assembly where Christian speaker Pam Stenzel told GW students "condoms aren't safe" and warned that any type of sexual contact would lead to sexually transmitted diseases and cause women to be infertile, according to an audio recording of her presentation.

In her YouTube videos, Stenzel shouts and says things such as women who take birth control are "10 times more likely to contract a disease . . . or end up sterile or dead." She allegedly told GW and Riverside students, "If your mom gives you birth control, she probably hates you."

Since the assembly, Campbell and other students and parents have voiced their concern with the school's allowance of Stenzel's presentation, which was sponsored by Believe in West Virginia, a religious organization. Campbell, 17, was featured on CNN Monday morning to talk about the assembly, which she referred to as "slut-shaming."

Campbell wants GW Principal George Aulenbacher to resign and apologize to the GW community, she said Monday morning during a news conference at the office of Charleston attorney Mike Callaghan, who is representing her.

This is a real person? Holy shit! I thought the Dr. Nora character from Frasier was a joke. (the link is should go straight to the part where Dr. Nora tells a caller she's a whore after finding out she's having sexual relations with her BF. The whole episode is great. Well, Frasier is awesome anyway.)

Right...so Christian students should hold a special ability to not participate in openly non/anti-Christian events, but non-Christian students should have their collegiate education threatened for not attending a Christian event. The hypocritical martyrdom of the Christian right annoys me to no end.

I love how the "threat" that the principal said he might do was to essentially tell a liberal women's-only school that the girl they had just accepted had taken a moral stand against a person who was teaching horrible sex education. Would have been hilarious had the girl responded with "oh, by all means, please call them right now." And FWIW, Wellesley did get word of the story and Tweeted that she was totally accepted there. Because, you know, what she did pretty much makes her a hero in their eyes. So yeah, principal doesn't seem too bright.

Also, I always find it funny when the administrators make the "well I didn't find it offensive" comment. Really? The person who probably had a hand in approving the selection of the speaker wasn't offended by what the speaker said? Well I'm convinced now.

I think we're starting to see this weird flow separation where increasing but still impotent segments are starting to realize how destructive it is. But at the same time others feel all the more emboldened, see the sequestration, abortion laws, creationism laws. I think the real turning point is same sex marriage issue. Victory is not a possible outcome, so the only choice is how much damage Republicans are willing to do to themselves in the process.

My take is that the party is infested with people who are incapable of changing their minds. They don't have the ability to entertain the possibility that they're wrong or will lose, so changing their minds is impossible. They will have to be crushed.

I was thinking this might last until the 2020's and be triggered by complete electoral annihilation. We'll have to see if these more reasonable elements can gain momentum. They will have to crush these elements of their party or have it done for them.

I suppose the principal can now tell the rest of the student body that the whole ordeal is proof that universities are nothing but liberal, indoctrination camps.

The SRB never chalks up something as a loss when it can be used as proof of a greater conspiracy.

Carson opposed capital punishment, favored racial equality, and was against criminalizing extramarital sex and pornography. He avoided explicitly mentioning his views on "Tonight", however, saying "I hate to be pinned down", as that would "hurt me as an entertainer, which is what I am".[4] As he explained in 1970, "In my living room I would argue for liberalization of abortion laws, divorce laws, and there are times when I would like to express a view on the air. I would love to have taken on Billy Graham. But I'm on TV five nights a week; I have nothing to gain by it and everything to lose."[30]

I could see it he had his moment in the sun what 20 years ago? 15 years ago. I forgot about him and assumed he was dead/playing Branson 365 a year/hosting the Hollywood Squares.

Not a guy I'd consider a comedian these days. He had his bit and it never progressed or evolved with the times... Yeah I guess that does sound conservative. I wonder if Yakov Smirnoff is also a conservative comedian, I assume he is also "dead/playing Branson 365 a year/hosting the Hollywood Squares"?

Regretfully, I cannot cite what I know. He was an incredibly private man and what i remember was from several biographical sources over the years. I remember he supported conservative positions and was a backer for Nixon, which, when looking through today's eyes would make him nearly a raging liberal to other conservatives. I think he was a conservative.

See, you are out of the loop with the whole "redneck comedian" thing. The Blue Collar Comedy Tour started in 2000 and ran through 2006, and offshoots of it are still going very strong throughout the US. He might be off your radar, but he's been very profitable and marketable this past decade. If he's had a decline, it's been in the past 5 years, not the past 15.

That said, the kind of conservative humor he portrays has nothing to really do with politics, and how some people are "idiots". Whether or not they are liberal is generally only tangential.

Agreed, but I think there's a pretty good reason that comedians with conservative views have not tried to lace their humor with political fare.

How long ago was this that Johnny Carson favored 'racial equality'? I had to google-fu, Rosa Parks was Dec 1st, 1955, Carson's night time show started in 62, albeit is his tv career started earlier in 52. Depending on when Carson was asked about racial equality, it's either progressive thinking, or society was already changing where the majority had the same sentiment. I don't think most conservatives in the US today are opposed to racial equality (not talking about the SRB here). And I can see that conservatives in the US beginning to share that view by the 70s, when Carson apparently reached the height of his career. So Carson was either a progressive thinker, or the other word I can't seem to recall, his views followed the general sentiment of the majority. The political zeitgeist whispered in his ear what to think and say, and he thought and spoke them onto others.

On the other hand Dennis Miller was never that liberal. I picked up a copy of Rants for a dime at a neighborhood book sale, and there is a ton in there pointing just where his true political alliegances layed.
